Would like to use my own polyfills with Webpack 'node' option

[ORESoftware]

I am looking to use my own polyfills/shims with Webpack

e.g.:

//webpack.config.js

node: {
 assert: require.resolve('oresoftware-assert'),
 fs: require.resolve('oresoftware-fs')
}

is this already supported? I don't believe I have seen this documented, but it would be a great feature, please advise

I tried it, and I get an error:

Invalid configuration object. Webpack has been initialised using a configuration object that does not match the API schema.
 - configuration.node['assert'] should be one of these:
   false | true | "mock" | "empty"

this is an important feature, that I really need, thanks!

@sokra would you accept a PR for this?

It should be possible to use resolve.alias to use your own shims.

@jhnns thanks, not as far as I can tell -

Invalid configuration object. Webpack has been initialised using a configuration object that does not match the API schema.
 - configuration.node['assert'] should be one of these:
   false | true | "mock" | "empty"

If I try to pass my own value, it won't take. The value I pass needs to be one of false | true | 'mock' | 'empty'

I need Webpack to be able to accept a dynamic value. Is that clear?
